The veal is the hero of our dish, it’s tender and lean. The Parmesan cheese gives a salty, nutty flavor that perfectly complements the tomato sauce, while mozzarella cheese adds the melty, stringy element we all love. The breadcrumbs create the beautiful crust when baked and boy does it make a difference.
How To Make Crispy Baked Veal Parmesan
- First off, preheat your oven to 375��F (190��C) and coat the baking tray with some olive oil.
- In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Dredge the veal cutlets in the egg, then in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they’re fully coated.
- Place the breaded cutlets on the baking tray and bake for 15 minutes. Then, take out the tray and flip the cutlets, returning it to the oven for another 10 minutes.
- Once the veal is golden brown, top each cutlet with marinara sauce, followed by a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
